Ingredients

    1 (14 oz.) bag frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined with tail off
    table salt, about 3 Tbsp
    1 cup (about 3 cups cooked) whole grain brown rice
    1 (12 oz.) bag Birds Eye Steamfresh vegetables, Asian Medley
    Soy sauce

Directions

First, get the rice cooking according to the directions. While it's going, start defrosting the shrimp if you have not already done so.
When the rice has about 10 minutes left, bring about a quart of water to a boil. Meanwhile, cook the vegetables in the microwave according to directions, leaving them in the bag.
As soon as the water boils, add the salt, then the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes, until they turn pink, then drain the water before serving.

To serve, put about 2/3 cup rice in the bottom of the dish, then a fourth of the vegetables, and top with about 8 shrimp. Sprinkle with soy sauce for extra saltiness and flavor, and enjoy!

This recipe can also make 3 larger servings. I LOVE vegetables, so I make it with two bags of veggies instead of one. I love this recipe because it's so yummy, yet so easy to make, and it satisfies my cravings for Asian food!
